To reinstall my headlight I finally found some connectors that would work (3M ones from Walmart were useless) at Harbor Freight Tools. These are the kind that the wires slip in at each end you crimp them on and then heat-shrink the covering.
Well all went well till the last step. Exactly how much heat do these require and for how long? (no mention on package). I used my daughters hair-dryer on the highest heat setting about one inch away for 5 minutes until I could smell burning. The center part shrank but the ends, where the shrinkage is really needed did not shrink at all. So both ends are now open to moisture. Anyone have a clue? This replacement of the 9004 socket is turning into a major project.
